The AFL today revealed the fixture for the first month of the season's resumption.

We are all very thrilled to have footy back on our screens and are looking forward to seeing how every team fares in the modified 17-game season

Following the release of the Rounds 2-5 fixture, here are the ten games we can't wait to see...

8. Round 4, Essendon vs Carlton, MCG

The old rivals meet again in a fixture where come to expect the unexpected. The Bombers need to prove they're a force while the Blues need to show more improvement. A game that doesn't need added spice will get it with early wins being gold in this re-structured season.
